Starting with fishing, I've traversed a chaotic world of demons and martial arts.

Li Tianxing saw Wang Li leave.

He also started rowing his own small sampan towards Qinghe Wharf...

"Take this big silver carp and eat it with Uncle Chen."

I'd also like to ask him for more information on the Zhenyue Nourishing Blood Exercise!

Tomorrow is the day we set off to hunt monsters.

I hope I can gain something from this...

Li Tianxing glanced at his gray panel again.

[Demon Soul: None]

"When will this panel turn gold and start recording content...?"

……

Li Tianxing carried the fish basket, and he carefully covered it with a black cloth.

After all, the treasure fish is quite rare, so I should keep a low profile.

Li Tianxing strode into the gate of Boguzhai...

He looked up.

He happened to see the older brother of an old friend.

It was none other than Wu Xu!

At this moment, Wu Xu, accompanied by several of the Black Dragon Gang's underlings, was standing inside the Boguzhai.

Chen Tong, meanwhile, lay on the chair, smoking his pipe, ignoring them.

Li Tianxing remained expressionless and simply shouted at Chen Tong:

"Uncle Chen, I brought you a good fish to eat today."

When Chen Tong saw Li Tianxing enter, he stood up and turned to look at Wu Xu standing to the side:

"Let me make this clear in advance, regardless of any grudges or conflicts."

"Don't make a move inside my Boguzhai, or else..."

Wu Xu at this moment put away his arrogant demeanor from outside:

"Don't worry, Manager Chen, I'm just asking him about something."

I heard that Li Tianxing often comes here, so I came to check on him.

Li Tianxing asked with an innocent look:

"Isn't this Brother Xu, the famous member of the Black Dragon Gang? You've come looking for me?"

He put the fish basket he was holding on the ground and looked at Wu Xu.

Wu Xu came to Li Tianxing's side:

"I heard you and my brother have been getting quite close lately. Are you having some kind of conflict?"

Before coming to Boguzhai, Wu Xu had also inquired at the fish market.

He naturally knew that Wu Da had brought shrimp to ambush Li Tianxing.

Li Tianxing said expressionlessly:

"Brother Xu is overthinking it. I know you were also very upset after your brother was murdered."

After all, he had taken good care of me in the past.

Wu Xu touched his buzz cut and said with a forced smile:

"I noticed signs that someone else had been in his house."

Furthermore, everything inside the house had been ransacked, so I suspect that person was you.

And I also know about his help in taking a concubine for me...

So I came to ask you, did you go to my brother's room that night?

Li Tianxing didn't waste any words, he simply said:

"no."

Wu Xu: "Okay, I understand."

By the way... I went to your house today and saw her; she is indeed quite pretty.

Li Tianxing narrowed his eyes, a murderous intent rising within him:

"What is Brother Xu trying to say?"

Wu Xu whispered in Li Tianxing's ear:

"It's nothing. I heard you're going to Pear Blossom Village tomorrow too."

Take care of yourself... after all, monsters are ruthless.

When you die, your partner...

I'll take good care of you... haha.

After saying this, Wu Xu laughed loudly and left Boguzhai!

This beast, he wouldn't lay a hand on Xiaoyuan, would he?!

Seeing the other person leave, Chen Tong, smoking his pipe, approached Li Tianxing.

"Kid, don't worry, he won't dare to touch you inside this Boguzhai."

Moreover... considering his strength at the Body Tempering Realm 'Tendon Refining' stage.

Wouldn't it be perfect as your whetstone?

"Uncle Chen, please leave the fish here for now. I'm going home to check on things!"

Li Tianxing was a little worried about Xiao Yuan's safety.

Although he didn't think Wu Xu would be so audacious as to do something so beastly in broad daylight...

But just to be on the safe side, I still need to go home and check on things!

Seeing that he was about to leave, Chen Tong said:

"Hey, you can take this fish with you too. It'll get stale if you leave it too long..."

As he spoke, he lifted the black cloth covering the fish basket.

Chen Tong lifted it halfway, but his hand stopped in mid-air.

Li Tianxing had just stepped out of the gate of Boguzhai.

At this moment, he turned around, smiled, and asked:

"Uncle Chen, what did you just say?"

Chen Tong lowered the black cloth:

"It's nothing, I just said I was thinking of eating fish..."

I didn't expect you to deliver it so quickly.

That perfectly captures my heart!

Li Tianxing smiled and shook his head, then walked quickly home.

……

Li Tianxing pushed open the door and saw Xiao Yuan's figure, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Xiao Yuan was lying on top of the rice jar scooping rice.

Because she was not tall, she stood on tiptoe.

Two perfectly round moons were stuck on the edge of the rice jar.

Li Tianxing rested his chin on his hand, watching the scene before him...

This reminds me a bit of those stories from my past life about people getting stuck in washing machines...

It seems Xiao Yuan has been eating a lot lately; she's clearly gained weight compared to before!

When Xiao Yuan heard the door open, she immediately stood up.

Holding the rice jar, he looked warily toward the door.

"Young Master is back? I was just about to cook for you!"

Upon seeing Li Tianxing's figure, a smile gradually appeared on Xiao Yuan's fair face.

Li Tianxing closed the door, sat down in a chair, and took a sip of water.

"Nobody's giving you any trouble, has anyone?"

Little Mandarin Duck blinked her big eyes:

"No, it's just that not long ago, I think a few people passed by our house."

Li Tianxing finally felt relieved:

"I understand. You don't need to cook. I'll take you to have dinner with Uncle Chen."

"Uncle Chen? Is he the owner of Boguzhai that the young master told me about?"

"Hmm... let's go!"

……

Li Tianxing brought Xiao Yuan to Boguzhai.

When Chen Tong saw Xiao Yuan, he simply nodded.

They didn't ask about her background, nor why she called him Young Master Li Tianxing...

It seems that very few things or people can stir up Chen Tong's emotions.

The three of them were eating steamed silver carp in the backyard of Boguzhai.

On the stone table in the backyard, besides steamed silver carp...

There are also marinated sausages and crispy-skinned, tender poached chicken.

And spring rolls that resemble gold bars and are filled with vegetables and shredded meat.

Li Tianxing savored the smooth and bouncy texture in his mouth.

As he swallowed the fish, he could vaguely feel his blood and qi churning!

Chen Tong smiled and said, "How is it? My skills are pretty good, aren't they?"

This large silver carp must be steamed to preserve its original flavor and nutrients.

Little Mandarin duck only ate a few bites of fish before letting out a burp:

"Young Master... this fish is delicious, but it's too filling. I can't eat anymore!"

I think I'll eat more spring rolls!

For Xiao Yuan, the crisp and sweet spring rolls are the most tempting.

Li Tianxing quickly shoveled rice into his bowl:

"Thank you for your hospitality, Uncle Chen. Your cooking skills are truly exceptional!"

The spicy flavor of this sausage paired with white rice is also delicious!

Chen Tong slowly and deliberately put a piece of tender white fish into his mouth:

"You're so thoughtful. I haven't had big silver carp in ages..."

Soon, all the dishes on the table were completely devoured!

Xiao Yuan picked up the plates and bowls and began to tidy up efficiently.

As for who ate the most, it was definitely Li Tianxing!

Li Tianxing alone ate more than half of the silver carp.

Chen Tong only dabbled in the silver carp.

He was old and had injuries.

This highly nourishing food does have some benefits for his health.

However, you shouldn't eat too much at once, otherwise the disadvantages will outweigh the advantages...

Li Tianxing touched his stomach, feeling his blood surging and his muscles trembling slightly.

He was constantly emitting wisps of heat, as if he were in a sauna.

Chen Tong, smoking his pipe, looked on in disbelief:

"I've also practiced Zhenyue Nourishing Blood Technique, but the effects weren't this miraculous."

Or is it because you have a very strong constitution?

I've only eaten most of this big silver carp...

There are even faint signs that it's about to achieve mastery of body forging!
